When I heard that there was a bow tournament, many people gathered, and the front of the camp was immediately crowded with people watching the excitement, except for the royal family members, who could sit under the umbrella, and the others could only stand there with the sun on their backs.

The palace maid sent wine and fruits, and the emperor was in high spirits, whispering to the queen and Concubine Li around him from time to time.

The appearance of Kicking Cloud Wuqi attracted more attention, and some people even set up bets in private on when Miss Ye San of the Zhenguo Mansion would fall off the horse.

Wind Twilight held the cup with three fingers, her slender fingertips rubbing the rim of the glass, and her long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows in the sun.

The third prince said uneasily: "I don't know how Miss Ye's riding skills are?" ”

"Poor." In front of outsiders, the wind and twilight have always cherished words like gold.

The third prince was almost choked by the wine, and he was so shocked that he could barely speak.

Riding skills are not good in the first place, and let her ride and kick the fierce horse of Yun Wuqi, isn't this looking for death?

The third prince had the heart to comfort a few words, but found that the prince of Nanwang was not nervous, and Tsing Yi whispered beside him from time to time, talking about the bets of everyone on the field.

"What's the odds?" The corners of the wind and twilight were tightly pursed.

"One to nine, almost all of them are pressed on Miss Ye's falling horse." Tsing Yi cautiously stared at Shizi's face, for fear that he would be unhappy.

Feng Duhan smiled disdainfully: "In that case, this world also has to get a part." ”

"Which side is the prince going to bet on?"

"How can the son of this world be in the same stream with them, but naturally he will be contrary to them."

"How much?"

"One thousand taels."

It's a lot of money, the three princes on the side raised their eyebrows slightly when they heard this, and came over with a smile, "It's rare for the prince to be so Yaxing, how about I also get a part?" ”

Feng Duhan didn't speak, but he didn't object, and the three princes all acquiesced to him, so he nodded and called the attendants around him, and whispered to him to bet.

Originally, it was just a few sons and brothers who were like their lives, and they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have a good time, but they didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to put down a thousand taels of silver first, and bet on Miss Ye San to fall off the horse, but the bet became bigger and bigger, and there was an uncontrollable trend, and now there is the addition of the prince of Nanwang and the third prince, for a while, the bets outside the court are more exciting than those in the field, and many people feel that the air is filled with an invisible murderous aura, and the timid are all hiding far away.

Mingzhu saw that everyone outside the venue was entering one after another, and the open space outside the venue was all occupied, so he gently raised the golden scepter in his hand.

Her golden staff is specially made, although the front end is the same as that of a normal bowing staff, but there is a mechanism at the top, if she presses the mechanism, the center of the crescent moon in the front can shoot a silver needle, and she has won many bowing competitions with this golden staff.

Mingzhu led the horse forward and entered first, five women with different identities followed her, Nangong Yan and Ye Zhiwei entered from opposite them, and the two sides met in the center of the venue.

On both sides of the site, there are three layers of carved bow gates, and there is a white ash powder between the bow doors.

The two teams of people came to stand on both sides of the field, and the chief attendant suddenly stood up and announced loudly in a sharp voice: "Today's bow competition is five ice silk, twenty cloud brocade, and a pair of red gold rings. ”

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that this was the emperor's lottery, and they all immediately became excited.

These women are all born in the Gaomen Mansion, so they naturally don't care about the money, but this ice silk is the most rare, and only the concubines and queens in the palace can afford it, thin as cicada wings, warm in winter and cool in summer, it is already rare to get a few zhang in ordinary times, and today the emperor actually opened his golden mouth and rewarded five horses, how could they not be happy.

At this time, an attendant came to the field with a hollow wooden ball in his hand and placed the wooden ball in the open space in the field.

As soon as the drums sounded on the sidelines, the two teams rushed out at the same time, and Mingzhu shouted excitedly, waving a golden scepter and rushing towards the hollow wooden ball.

Everyone on the sidelines, regardless of men and women, all followed the hollow wooden balls and applauded one after another, and the atmosphere on the field suddenly rose.

Mingzhu seemed to be the leader of their team, the golden staff hit the wooden ball, heroic posture, galloping like lightning, shuttling left and right in the crowd.

However, Nangong Yan is not a vegetarian, the wooden staff in his hand is calm, and every time he intercepts the hollow wooden ball from under Mingzhu's golden scepter and sends it to his teammates.

The two sides have come and gone, and each other has scored goals.

Ye Zhiwei rode and kicked the cloud and always followed behind Nangong Yan, she was still a little rusty at first, but soon she became familiar with the method of hitting the cane, whenever Nangong Yan took the hollow wooden ball, she would fly the ball in front of her own side as soon as possible.

After several times in a row, Mingzhu became a little impatient and shouted to her companion, "Stop her!" ”

The two riders immediately outflanked Yip Zhiwei on the left and right.

Nangong Yan immediately became nervous, turned around to look at Ye Zhiwei, but the wooden ball in his hand was snatched by Mingzhu and sent directly into the goal.

At this time, Nangong Yan couldn't care about winning or losing, what she was worried about was that Ye Zhiwei was in Mingzhu's way.

Bow competitions are actually a very risky game, and even among men, there are cases where people fall from their horses or hit their wooden sticks by mistake, and they often injure their bodies.

Ye Zhiwei's riding skills can only be called barely, and the members of Mingzhu's side approached, she didn't panic, but grabbed the reins tighter.

The three horses were about to walk side by side, squeezing Ye Zhiwei in the middle, and at this moment, the kicking cloud black horse suddenly neighed, and the front hooves were raised in the air.

Ye Zhiwei seemed to have been prepared, holding the reins tightly, and the whole person was lying on the horse's back, although the movements were ugly, but they did not fall.

The two horses approaching next to them saw that they were kicking the clouds and were threatening, and they retreated uncontrollably in fright, and refused to move forward, no matter how much the rider urged them.

Kicking the front hooves of the cloud black horse to the ground, shaking the black mane, majestic, he turned his head as he ran, and snorted at the horse behind him.

Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but smile secretly, it was worthy of being the mount of the prince of the Southern Wang, and even her temper was somewhat similar to that of its owner.

Nangong Yan drove his horse over and said, "You're scared me to death." ”

Ye Zhiwei smiled faintly, "This is the war horse of the prince, it has to run at the forefront when it goes into battle to kill the enemy on weekdays, how can it allow other horses to run on its side?" ”

Nangong Yan suddenly realized.

Kicking the clouds and black horses are proud by nature, and they will not allow other horses to go hand in hand with it no matter what, but they didn't expect Mingzhu's strategy to lose to this horse.

Nangong Yan laughed loudly, "Then I can rest assured, see us win this back, and on the day you get married, I will give you a set of ice silk robes to ensure that the prince is satisfied!" ”

Ye Zhiwei took a sip, "Let's keep you to wear it for General Wen to see!" ”

The two laughed in unison and rode towards Princess Mingzhu......
